2007 Ocean to Stars Lecture Series: Staying Healthy in a Chemical World
HIDDEN HEALTH HAZARDS: EVERYDAY EXPOSURES TO TOXIC CHEMICALS
Join us in May for four exciting lectures about groundbreaking research on threats to human and environmental health - with findings that just might change your life. Whether in the home, office, school, factory, or field, toxic hazards have found their way into our daily lives. Many previously unknown environmental pollutants are emerging and being detected with improved analyses and tools. And many previously tried solutions have fallen short on protecting our health and that of our children.
Our speakers, top researchers on the forefront of exposure science, arededicated to detecting environmental pollutants, protecting the publicfrom risks, and proposing actions to improve our health and sustain ourenvironment.
When: Thursdays, May 10, 17, 24 & 31, 7 - 8 p.m.
Where: Kane Hall 120, UW Seattle campus
Cost: Free, but advance registration is requested.
